Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd October 2018

2nd October, 2018.

Well … 

Well, he says, in the introductory video … 

As you know … ?

I’m having trouble at work: a lack of shifts* if you didn’t know.

And, to be completely honest, last night, I think the stress was … not doing my mood much good.

I made sure I watched a movie: the 2012, Neil Jordan directed, Byzantium.

Which helped my mood: which was looking bleak.

I’m expecting it to look bleak, again.

But … ?

Am very aware I’ve a condition that can be nasty, in these situations.

That doesn’t mean it’s in charge.

Just as a last minute piece of news?

I’ve just found out that comic book artist, Carlos Ezquerra, has died: of lung cancer.

British science fiction has lost an icon.

The man co-created Judge Dredd, along side a host of other 2000AD characters.

He’ll be missed … 

We are profoundly sad to confirm that the legendary artist Carlos Ezquerra has passed away. It is difficult for us to put this into words, but we have lost someone who was the heart and soul of 2000 AD... https://t.co/FJI1K97SPh pic.twitter.com/fDKy47lTEr

*       The one upside to the shift situation?   Is the simple fact I have this Sunday off and will catch the opening episode of Dr Who, series eleven.

†        I’ll pass those on, Olga.   Enjoy the film fest!   (You might find Byzantium worth a go: mind you, Neil Jordan films usually are …)

‡        I’ll pass this on, Debbi!   She’s on my Facebook friends list, if you’re interested.
